Either I must be blocking all the right people from previous fandom experiences or you must be hanging around the wrong parts, OP, because I've been in the GO fandom for more than a year, at this point, actively participating with my content and interacting with others, and not once I've ever seen someone getting angry about other people interpreting them as ace. The only reactions I've seen to that headcanon have been wholly welcoming and positive.

That said, yeah, there's a lot of sexual content too, but also... Fanarts or works of them being cuddly without going into horny territory are aplenty, so idk what you mean when you say that everyone is constantly horny on main.

We must be engaging with fan content for this ship in completely different places because my experience with this fandom seems to have been the completely opposite of yours???

What you're describing has been my experience with GO fandom as well. And honestly, GO is one of the least horny fandoms I've been in in a long time. That's not to say there isn't plenty of explicit content, but there's way more T, GA, and Gen fic for GO than there's been for most of my other fandoms.

It is possible to really curate your fandom experience such that you don't see things that are endemic in other areas of the fandom. I'm in the Les Mis fandom and I take care to curate my fandom experience because there are certain things about the fandom that I actively dislike and don't want to see. It took me a bit of time to figure out who to follow/unfollow to make sure I was only seeing what I wanted and not being bombarded with the stuff I didn't want to see; sometimes I see a post by someone who clearly follows folks I don't, complaining about the exact stuff I've largely cleared off my dash, but I don't see that stuff myself most of the time.

Editing to say I wonder if you are hanging with the older fans and that's why they're less horny and more welcoming of alternate viewpoints? I've seen some astoundingly horny GO stuff on my own dash and it seems to largely be the teens who are posting it. When the tv series had JUST come out, I do also remember seeing a few posts of people being mad that Neil Gaiman was cool with all interpretations of Aziraphale and Crowley, rather than officially stating that they were cis gay men. There was a definite tone of aphobia in those posts' wording, I remember it because it was so fucking weird to me as a (casual) pre-tv series GO fan.

I'm middle-aged and I've been around since the book fandom days and there was certainly horny art and fic around then too (I wrote some of it and still do, I'm one of the horny on main ones). But also a lot of non-sexual art and fic too.

Just don't assume it's the teens being horny necessarily - in my experience in multiple fandoms it's the teens who seem most likely to be judgmental about sexual content, especially when it's made by older people. (NOT saying OP is).

It's all fine with me, and I'm glad Gaiman said that, I don't want ace people to feel excluded - or anyone.
